Great trip Aaron. 

A friend of mine who has plenty of experience in winter mountaineering,  made an attempt at a similar trip.  They got several feet of really wet snow over a couple of days and had a hard time making any progress in unbroken Cascadian mashed potato snow.  They used up their food and eventually came out in a helicopter.  It can be an unforgiving environment.  I remember being there on Labor Day , Sept 6 and getting some serious snow.
